It is recommended that students with a serious interest in Psychology distribute their elected courses over as many areas of Psychology as possible in order to get a comprehensive picture of modern Psychology. Students must complete a minimum of 30 graded hours of credit in Psychology earning a grade of C or better. These hours must include: Psychology 100, 102, 105, 250, and 299; 4 upper division courses from among 301, 305, 306, 307, 309, and 310; and a total of at least 3 hours selected from the set of courses which may serve as the basis of a Senior Capstone Experience (Psychology 387, 388, 389, & 390). Students should work closely with an advisor to plan the required Senior Capstone Experience. The Senior Capstone Experience should be taken during the senior year. Some of the courses which meet major requirements are not offered each semester, so students should always consult a Psychology faculty advisor when planning a course schedule. At least 15 of the required 30 hours must be upper-division courses, and at least 9 hours (including 6 upper division hours) must be taken at Washburn. |
